The Liberties
From ancient churches and cathedrals, to recreated Viking life; from world-famous brewhouses and distilleries, to the hustle and bustle of historic market streets – there’s so much to discover and enjoy in the historic heart of Dublin.
The Liberties is Dublin’s ‘must-see’ area, with some of the city’s top visitor spots waiting to be explored and over 800 years of history to uncover as you walk its streets.
Explore the vestiges of Dublin’s medieval city wall and visit the city’s two beautiful cathedrals. Follow The Liberties Distilleries Trail and sample the fare in the new brewhouses and craft distilleries establishing in what was once Dublin’s Golden Triangle of whiskey production. Uncover the stories and literary gems in centuries-old libraries. Or explore local galleries and resist the temptation of Francis Street’s antiques shops.
Above all, The Liberties is about people – a lively city neighbourhood that serves up an authentic slice of Dublin life.
